No honking and no overtaking on the roads. Just understanding. 6. THE SACRIFICEFifty workers stayed back to pump sea water in the N-reactors. How will they ever be repaid?  7. THE TENDERNESSRestaurants cut prices. An unguarded ATM is left alone. The strong cared for the weak. 8. THE TRAININGThe old and the children, everyone knew exactly what to do. And they did just that. 9. THE MEDIAThey showed magnificent restraint in the bulletins. No silly reporters. Only calm reportage. Most of all – NO POLITICIANS TRYING TO GET CHEAP MILEAGE.  10. THE CONSCIENCEWhen the power went off in a store, people put things back on the shelves and left quietly.With their country in the midst of a colossal disaster - The Japanese citizens can teach plenty of lessons to the world.   * Miracles happen everyday.
